17. Incline your ear, Lord, and listen!open your eyes, Lord, and see!Hear all the words Sennacherib has sentto taunt the living God.
18. Truly, O Lord,the kings of Assyria have laid wastethe nations and their lands.
19. They gave their gods to the fire—they were not gods at all,but the work of human hands—Wood and stone, they destroyed them.
20. Therefore, Lord, our God,save us from this man’s power,That all the kingdoms of the earth may knowthat you alone, Lord, are God.”
